Anyone share my view that the Democrats lost this recall when the state capital was occupied last year? I would have been furious if Republicans acted like the Democrats did. It’s my take a lot of people were furious about that in Wisconson.

Looks like CNN either exit polled only democrats or, which is more likely, voters across the state lied to the pollsters.

I think that's what we should all do, if we are ever exit polled; tell them what they want to hear, which is of course the opposite of how we voted. Here's my dream for November:

Let the MSM "experts" spend the day all giddy, thinking that their false god, Obama, is getting all the votes, and they will spend the day knowing that the election is in the bag for their guy. And then we will get to watch their nervous breakdowns live on election night as the returns come.

Still cracking up over CNN's "50/50" exit polls...they need to get out more! Like at least 100 yards away from the local Starbucks!

1029 of 3424 precincts are now in - 30% of Total

Walker - 60%
Barrett - 40%

20 POINT LEAD for Scott Walker!

The victory tonight appears to be total. All four GOP state senate seats are apparently safe and the Lt. Gov. has won as well.

Furthermore, Intrade has Obama's re-election chances dropping from 52.2% earlier tonight to 50.9% as of right now. Look for it to be under 50% by morning.

Color Wisconsin RED on your electoral state map for November!

This would seem to be a virtual blow-out. Wonder why FoxNews is saying it is too close to call...

I just hopped up and danced a jig. It’s nice to feel great about a political development even if it isn’t in my state.

Laurence Odonnel just declared the real winner tonight is Barack Obama!

Don't underestimate the value of finding out how horribly wrong you've been.

Can anyone in Wisc give us an idea about what’s going on with the missing Senate race? If we lose there, does the Senate go Dem?

The people of WI have spoken. I hope the unions hear us.

The goonions won't listen to NOTHIN'! They will just throw more and bigger temper tantrums. I hope GOVERNOR Walker has body armor.
